A matte white Hermes 'crocodile skin' Birkin bag on Wednesday
sold for a record $380,000 in Christie’s Hong Kong outpost. The luxury
handbag which was produced in 2014, has 18 karat gold buckles and strap
loops encrusted with 205 diamonds.
The auction
house didn't identify the buyer but it sold off for 2.94 million Hong
Kong dollars ($380,000) after 15 minutes of intense bidding from phone
and online buyers, which is a record for any handbag sold at auction.
The price surpasses the record set a year ago when Christie's auctioned a
similar Birkin bag for $300,000.
